Old City Creative Corridor Initiative Announced for Old City Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Maiden Media Group, a leading digital creative agency, today announced its campaign to brand Old City, Philadelphia as the Old City Creative Corridor.

Old City, Philadelphia is known for its rich history, plethora of art galleries and more recently, for its nightlife. However, over the last few years it has also become a vibrant hub of creative talent.

"With a number of innovative businesses, art galleries, and creative agencies in the neighborhood, it makes sense to unite all of the creatives under one umbrella," Maiden Media's Managing Director, Zain Haseeb said. "The idea is to use the Old City Creative Corridor as an opportunity to bring together the creative talent for regular meetings and to help one another further business opportunities. If the creative talent had an opportunity to collaborate and use each others' strengths to further ideas, concepts and projects; we think the whole community would benefit."

In addition to furthering creativity and business opportunities, the goal of the Old City Creative Corridor is to attract more creative talent and businesses to Old City, Haseeb explained. Job creation is an important consideration that Maiden Media is emphasizing in its Creative Corridor branding effort.

To begin its branding effort, Maiden Media is designing a social oriented website, http://oldcitycc.org/, for businesses to use for networking and connecting with other creatives. The website will also serve as a place to post events and keep track of the creative happenings in Old City.

The Old City Creative Corridor concept was developed as a part of Maiden Media's MLabs projects. The MLabs initiative fosters innovation and allows the Maiden team to highlight its most unique and organic internal projects.
